For a long time, I read about "RESTful APIs" and had no idea what that term meant. The API part means Application Programmer Interface, a way for coders to get data from a website within their own programs. That much I knew. But as for the REST part, that was less familiar to me.
As a programmer, being clueless doesn't stop me from playing around. What I observed when I tested some APIs that use REST is that there wasn't much to it at all.
REST isn't a big deal. In fact, it's all around us! When you go to a web page, you're sending a REST request. When you search the web, yeah, that's using REST, too.
